How to compress an MOV
Add your MOV files
Drop them onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads each file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.
Pick a level and press Compress
A level is already chosen. Pick another, or a size to fit under, if you like, then press Compress. The work happens in this tab and can take a while for a long file.
Download
Save each file, or all of them as one ZIP.
What each level does
- Keep quality
- Keeps the picture size and the frame rate, and saves the clip again as H.264 in a MOV. The file is smaller; it is not a repack.
- Balanced
- A 4K clip comes out at 1080p, and a 60 frames per second clip at 30. A clip that is already 1080p at 30 keeps both.
- Smallest
- A clip is scaled down to 720p on its shorter side if it is larger, and a high frame rate is halved. Sound is encoded at a lower rate.
Compressing MOV files: what to expect
A MOV straight from an iPhone or a camera is usually large, so it has the most to give. One recorded in QuickTime or exported from an editor may be small already.
The result stays a MOV, with the same name and container. The picture is H.264 and the sound is AAC, whatever the original used. Many iPhone clips hold HEVC; those come back as H.264.
If your browser cannot read the video inside a file (some browsers cannot read HEVC), the page switches to a slower built-in converter that is downloaded the first time. It handles files up to 1 GB, and the row asks you to keep the tab open.
Fit under takes a size instead of a level: type your limit, or pick one of the common sizes. The limit is per file, not for the whole batch.
Your device does the work, and long videos take a while. Keep the tab open while it runs; nothing is uploaded, so nothing waits in a queue.
Questions
Are my MOV files uploaded?
No. Your MOV files are never uploaded: they are made smaller inside your browser, on your own phone or computer, and saved straight from this page. The reading at the top of the page counts every byte sent, and it stays at 0 B.
Will the smaller file look worse?
That depends on the level you pick. Keep quality: Keeps the picture size and the frame rate, and saves the clip again as H.264 in a MOV. The file is smaller; it is not a repack. Balanced: A 4K clip comes out at 1080p, and a 60 frames per second clip at 30. A clip that is already 1080p at 30 keeps both. Smallest: A clip is scaled down to 720p on its shorter side if it is larger, and a high frame rate is halved. Sound is encoded at a lower rate.
What if a file can't get smaller?
Then you get your own file back, unchanged, and its row says why: for example, that it is already as small as it gets at that level. You are never handed a file larger than the one you added.
How small can an MOV get?
Type a size under Fit under and each file is made to fit it, keeping as much quality as fits. For a small limit that can mean a lower resolution or frame rate; the row says so. If the limit cannot be reached, you get the smallest version there is and the row says how far it got.
Is anything removed from the file?
A clip filmed upright stays upright: the turn that tells a player how to show it is kept, along with the title tag. HDR is written as standard 8-bit video, so colours can look different, and the row says so before the run. Surround sound becomes stereo, and subtitles, chapters and extra audio tracks are not kept.
Does the MOV stay a MOV?
Yes. The smaller file is a MOV with H.264 video and AAC sound. It is not turned into an MP4.
Will my portrait iPhone clip still be upright?
Yes. The clip is shown at the same orientation as the original, and a size under Fit under keeps portrait as portrait.
Why is my MOV slow in some browsers?
An HEVC clip needs a browser that can decode HEVC. Where that is missing, the page uses the slower built-in converter instead, so the same file takes longer. Keep the tab open until it finishes.
